Distance gardening?? Anyone ever garden while being away 5 and sometimes 12 days away for work?? I plan to run a smaller garden with automatic watering. Will this even have a chance to work? Ideas and suggestions are highly welcomed...

Drip irrigation is your friend works great for me. Only thing I need to do is fertilizer once a week. Already about to start picking peppers!

I planted about 2 weeks ago. 4 rows of sweet corn (2 different kinds)
1 row okra, 1 row snap beans, 1 row purple hulls, 2 rows of tomatoes, 2 rows of peppers (chilli, banana, jap, hab, bell, Tabasco), 1 row cucumbers/squash/zucchini, 1 row cabbage, 1 row onions, 1 1/2 row taters, 3 strawberries, and several sunflowers (teddy bear, chocolate cherry, and another I forgot) throughout. Rows are 40'. I'm going to be busy this year. And I had plenty of help.

This web site has a lot of good information as well as good YouTube videos on how to set the attachments up. I called and asked questions and they were always helpful... Quick shipments too... first time I called, I told him his attachment wouldn't work for me because it was the wrong color... He said, "what you mean?"... I tole him all my stuff had to be John Deere Green... He chuckled and tole me all his stuff was Case Yeller... Good folks.
I got the 48" bedder because I didn't want to make my rows too far apart, and with the small "plows" set at their widest hole setting, they take out my tire tracks and makes for a nice looking garden...

As you can see from the pic, the bedder now works very well on my tractor... I painted it the RIGHT color!!

Scotty, do you let ferns grow for a while before you harvest? Finally seeing some shoots from ours, but afraid to pick the first ones?....
My corn and okra rows are starting to sprout. Beans and peas are doing well, and tomatoes are about 18” tall already.
Have cantaloupe and melons about ready to plant, and this year I have some Dill’s Giant and Knucklehead pumpkins. Curious how they handle the heat, but they look good so far.
Peppers are slow to start but should be good this year. Started onions the week before the freeze. Covered them, and they look good so far. Planted 200 starts, will pull/thin some for cooking along the way.
